I posted a (labeled) AI-generated piece of art to a Star Trek shitposting community and a mod removed it because they didn't want AI generated images, even if labeled.
It didn't make me mad at all, I just found it interesting and kind of ironic
Artists: don't gatekeep us. Allow us to explore and recreate in new medias in new ways.
Also artists: we alone get to decide what art is, what way it is created, and what media it is found.
Seriously, I feel like the only artists that have to worry about AI are the incompetent ones. Are you really that scared about something that lacks originality by nature? If so, you're probably just doing soul-sucking grunt work...
Nah I think it can be cool and sometimes funny.
As long as it's not being passed off as made by a human I don't care. Most of the AI art I see being posted is specifically to communities for posting AI art, anyway.
Not at all. I think it's fascinating. The technology behind it is incredible and getting better every day. While I don't consider any AI-generated images to be "masterpieces" by any stretch of the imagination, they're interesting to study.
Just out of curiosity, which new ones have you seen today? I've noticed ai images being included in parts of memes, but it's mostly been as a replacement for low effort photoshopping.
I think it's not cool unless it's funny. I'm trying to think of a good philosophical reason for that. I agree most of the time I am annoyed and don't even look at them, scrolling past as if they were advertising.
In direct opposition to most of the comments here, I relly like it. Most of what I see are really good. I say this having done some and been unable to 'prompt engineer' much to my liking. Turns out it is harder than it looks (much like traditional art)
I like it, I like content and it doesn't take much for me to scroll past stuff I don't like.
Girl Talk was just a bunch of other peoples music smashed together, but it was undeniably its own art.
I blocked ai communities wherever they showed up, it’s not that I hate it it just has no value to me, no substance. It’s like looking at one of billions of marginal steps some algorithm takes to refine itself.
I don’t really get it. Reminds me of the guys who’d send each other fractal images on floppy disks in the early 90s, which they must have got something out of, but to everyone else it’s just pictures of maths.
I am ok with clearly-labeled posts that are in dedicated comms and occassionally enjoy examples of the shitshow that the models produce when they hallucinate. However, if the model is trained on works without authorization from and compensation to the creators of its training data, I find their use beyond ethically-questionable.
I find their use beyond ethically-questionable.
I think non-commercial use is absolutely unquestionable ok.
I do agree. That's rather inline with AGPL-like thinking, which sounds like the right approach to me (either all training data for a commercially-marketed model is public-domain and/or licensed for for-profit AI use, or, no money ever changes hands in that branch).

What communities are you subscribed to? Cause I don't have this problem when browsing All.
To me, if they are contained to communities setup for AI generated images and there is some effort to mark or identify them as AI, I don't mind them. Its when they get posted outside those spaces, especially posing as something someone made, that it gets very annoying.
Can someone explain to me what the difference is between AI art and students imitating an artist? What happens when the AI actually gains the ability to experiment "outside the box" - what we call creativity?
Then the copyright system needs to go away.
The one is done by a human, the other by machine. People are in general more interested in other humans doing things. We watch people play chess but not really machines, even though the later are better. We admire craftsmanship, but automated assembly line doing extreme precession work is just rather functional. I think it has something to do wit empathy and how we relate to other humans rather than to inanimate objects.
You know humans designed that assembly line.

I'm against AI-generated anything as a principal. I have too many friends in the art community who's primary form of income is the art they create.
I think I've become more jaded over time. I blacklist authors who use AI generated cover art, and I'm getting to the point that I want to do the same for games because I am so tired of hearing AI voices to replace characters, even if that character is an AI in the game.
Again, it doesn't stem from my hate of new technology, but rather the people being effected by that technology - the artists, voice actors, what have you. And also there's that thing where I do not want to talk to a chat robot for things.
Not bothered. Just no longer impressed.
Some of these responses either have a weird and jaded agenda or literally don't make sense. You don't like AI art because of the smudges or the weird colors? Huh? lol
Not at all, continue!
Maybe 1 in 10 AI generated images posted here I look at that are any interest to me.
Most character mashups outside of a handful aren't very interesting (the pokemon museum one was neat). Most are kinda meh, but don't bother me as at least with my current settings only a few AI art communities appear on my feed.
Nah, keep them coming. I've seen the sunset from my window hundreds of times, it's still pretty.
A few is fine, if AI pics appear in my feed more than that, then it does annoy me.
